摘要

An image decoding method capable of appropriately decoding an image by a simple configuration is an image decoding method for decoding an encoded image included in a bit stream block by block, and comprises: arithmetically decoding a block to be decoded (S101); determining whether or not the block to be decoded is located at the end of a slice (S103); when determining that the block to be decoded is not located at the end of the slice, determining whether or not the block to be decoded is located at the end of a sub unit that is an image constituent unit different from the slice (S105); and when determining that the block to be decoded is located at the end of the sub unit, performing termination processing of arithmetic decoding by arithmetically decoding a sub end bit (S106).
